Re: [jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss AS7 Development] - Data Source Configuration in AS 7

Andrig Miller [http://community.jboss.org/people/andy.miller] commented on the document "Data Source Configuration in AS 7" To view all comments on this document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16657#comment-5790 -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the compliment Rich.  Yes, AS 7 is a radical departure from previous versions, and yes I believe it will be a huge leap forward.  To answer your question, I have been told that you can deploy your data source, using the driver jar in the deployments directory, but I haven't even tried it yet, so I'm not sure how that works.  If I get a chance, I might try that and add to the document.  In future beta's there will be an administration console.  Through that we should also be able to create and deploy data sources, and everything else that can be configured.  It sits on top of a new management API, that also has a CLI interface.  Overall, when the console and management API get completed you will be able to do all the "manual" configuration stuff through a very nice UI, or scripted via the CLI, and our documentation will become more about using those mechanisms than what I documented here. Exciting stuff is coming! --------------------------------------------------
